Manchester United have been offered the chance to sign Victor Osimhen this summer. Napoli are interested in selling their striker and see Rasmus Hojlund as the ideal replacement.
According to a report in il Napolista, Napoli are keen on signing Hojlund and are willing to consider a swap deal. They are open to letting Osimhen move but want £33 million in cash along with the Danish star.
French former footballer Louis Saha spoke to Genting Casino earlier this season and urged Manchester United to get Osimhen. He said (via GOAL):
He added:
United manager Ruben Amorim is interested in signing a top striker, and they were linked with Liam Delap. However, The Athletic has reported that the Ipswich Town star is heading to Chelsea.
Osimhen is interested in moving to the Premier League and was seemingly waiting for Chelsea’s call. He also has an offer from Al-Hilal, as the Saudi Pro League side are pushing to sign him.
Earlier this year, former player Paul Parker urged Manchester United to sign Jonathan David instead of Victor Osimhen. He opined that the free agent would do well, though his signing-on fee would be higher than that of the Nigerian. Parker said (via UtdDistrict):
Manchester United finished 15th in the Premier League this season and will be without European football next season. They reached the Europa League final but lost 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur on May 21.
